About this home

Completely renovated and move-in ready, this exceptional Friendly Acres home offers refined mountain living with high-end upgrades throughout. Designed for both comfort and style, the open floor plan is highlighted by wood-beamed ceilings and a striking new gas fireplace that anchors the main living space. The fully reimagined kitchen features custom cabinetry, updated lighting, and all-new appliances, while beautifully renovated bathrooms—including a primary suite with heated floors—provide a spa-like retreat. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring, new windows, new PEX plumbing, updated recessed lighting and fixtures, and new ceiling fans reflect the quality and care poured into every detail.

This one-level home with a full basement offers flexibility and space, along with the rare convenience of two laundry rooms—one on the main level and one in the basement—with washers and dryers included. A two-car garage provides ample storage, and outdoor living is just as impressive with a covered deck, covered patio, and new deck ceiling—perfect for enjoying the peaceful mountain setting year-round.

Located just minutes from downtown Waynesville, Friendly Acres offers the ideal blend of privacy and accessibility. Enjoy easy access to local dining, shopping, and year-round events, along with nearby hiking trails, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Lake Junaluska. This is mountain living at its finest—thoughtfully updated, beautifully finished, and ready to enjoy.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
